City's website and the City's three public bulletin boards for two months.
All existing Board and Commission Members whose terms were expiring this year,
as well as applicants from the last round of appointments who were not seated,
were contacted and invited to reapply. The deadline for application submittal was
May 31, 2013.
Several changes to the Board and Commission chapters of the Municipal Code have
been adopted by Ordinance 516, which will take effect on August 16, 2013. At
its next meeting after Ordinance 516 takes effect, it is the intent of the City
Council to take action to apply all provisions of Ordinance 516, with the exception
of Section 2.06.030 (E), to all existing Boards and Commissions. Furthermore, it is
the intent of the City Council to apply Section 2.06.030 (E) to 2014 appointments
and all appointments thereafter. Section 2.06.030 (E) reads:
"After serving two consecutive three -year terms, or a total of six
consecutive years, on a specific board or commission, that member
shall rotate out of that board or commission and shall not be
considered for reappointment to that specific board or commission
until one year has elapsed."
ALTERNATIVE:
Delay appointments to one or more positions, direct staff to continue to accept
applications and set a new deadline for submissions.
